[sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] someone is stealing things at sudoroom / the omni

Fri Mar 27 05:50:34 PDT 2015

just for the record:

given that the thief is, as we have concluded, not reading this, hell NO do
i think that solution ought be scrapped -- never did:

*(short version)*

"i suggest the solution be scrapped" was in light of the possibility of
being 'overheard.'

didn't know how to say that. i thought it was so good in fact that i wanted
to get together in person forthwith to nab the fucker.

*(long version)*

given the notorious  properties of hindsight, i agree in advance that i may
not have chosen the best approach but:

"i suggest the solution be scrapped" was in light of the possibility of
being 'overheard,' which it seems is agreed is 'not possible,' (and which i
would agree would be unlikely in most places, but of which,* prior to this
thread*,  i was more inclined to think some plausible possibility existed,
in the Bay Area).

however, given my premise, i had a problem: didn't know how to say that and
not even further compromise an excellent idea. i thought it was so good in
fact that i thought it was worthwhile to suggest such 'scrapping', wink,
along with laudatory reference to the plan, (the which i thought left my
'wink' hopefully discernible), and get together in person forthwith to nab
the fucker.

thank you very much.  just saying.

*sigh*

*(long-ass post script in a smaller print to impart a paradoxicall flavour)*

by way of *apologia, *a possibly (and hopefully) meta-recursive gloss of
this author's motive in opting to post the above: i only just found out ten
years ago that i am not exactly always the most concise, clear, direct
and/or comprehend-able  with respect to my approach to communication,
particularly if/when i think the situation calls for some form of
preferentially targeted subtext (think shibboleth).
